ditto TW - macro or close to macro capability in a >100mm focal length w TS would be very attractive to me. Lots of creative possibilities come to mind - tilted, macro panoramas? Some interesting portraits possible as well.

+1 to TS-E 100mm Macro L. That would be the perfect replacement (or a buddy) to my 100mm F2.8 USM. Hopefully the price won't be so much more than the 100mm F2.8L IS USM macro but I doubt it.

I would expect the price of the replacement to be at least $2200, making it on par with the TS-E 24mm II. *If* true macro capabilities were to be added, I think we could see a price a little north of $2500.

Hmmm.... excuse me for wondering how this would go together, but sir, are you really quite sure about what you are writing here, that you can figure this out and even tp write all this about the new Canon lens releases, maybe in the near future, even without a brain? when you proudly are in writing stating that: quoting your sentence: "You don't even need a brain to figure that out." ! ;-)

Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun!

In order to become useful for macro photography we need much more than 8.5° tilt.

+1,

I have the 90 TS-E, and use it much more than the 100mm Macro for flowers close-ups (with 12 and 25 mm macro tubes), it's über-sharp and a joy to use, but I wish 3 things could be improved :

- separate tilt/shift function (I assume the v2 will have it).- slightly closer focusing distance (at least 1:2 instead of 1:3)- improved tilt capacity (more than 8°), but that will be at the cost of the relative compactness of the 90mm, since the lens will need a bigger optical circle, which means bigger lenses.- I was quite happy with the 90mm focal, doubles nicely from the 45TS-E. 100mm TS-E Macro L sounds good, but I hope they won't turn it into a 135 or 150mm, that would be too long for a true close-up/detail/studio/ architecture all-rounder.
